In the UK, Jump bikes were a far superior option over Lime. My experience with both was that Lime bike maintenance was very poor; with two-thirds of all rides requiring a refund due to the bike not functioning or having physical damage.

Getting support and refunds from Lime was exceptionally painful. Uber also supported bike drop off in the East, where as Lime would silently fine you.

The Jump bikes were just a different league. Smooth ride. Lime bikes for me were a last resort when I was doing the bike share thing. Half of them were broken, more physical effort than riding a decent road bike and no refund when the bike is broken. I'd rather get a Boris bike than a Lime.
